The Impacts of the Minimum Living Standard Scheme on the Wellbeing of Its Recipients:An Investigation in Three Cities

我国最低生活保障制度作为'最后一道安全网',过去近20年中在救助弱势群体方面起着相当重要的作用。目前,随着社会的发展和物价快速上涨,低保制度是否能够维持受助者的基本生活,低保群体的生活状态和福祉水平值得学界和社会的关注。本研究通过选取我国东、中、西三个地区具有代表性的城市——佛山、邵阳和成阳进行实地问卷调查,测量出当前低保群体的生活情况和福利水平,以及发现了低保制度存在的一些问题和不足。

Being'the final social safety net'in China,the Minimum Living Standard Scheme(MLSS)has played a very important role in helping the disadvantaged groups in the past two decades.It is a very important research topic to study how the MLSS influences the basic living standard,the living conditions and well-being of its recipients.This study has selected three representative cities——Foshan,Shaoyang and Xianyang from the east,central,west regions of China respectively,and measured the living conditions and welfare of the recipients through field survey,and also found the problems and deficiencies existed in the current MLSS.
